SCHOOL VISITS

Here at the Music Central we want to inspire and influence young musicians and bring a positive change to your school community. With support from the Musicians Union and Youth Music Network, our Concerts and Workshops are designed to entertain, educate and equip students who wish to start a new instrument or would like to develop their gift under the supervision of professional musicians.

KICK START CONCERTS

Spark your students’ interest in learning a new instrument or starting singing lessons with our action-packed concert, which we’ll bring to your school.

Our team of professional musicians offers a dynamic music presentation that will give students a taste of how fun music lessons can be and where our After School Workshop will lead them.

Lasting between 10-20 minutes, our concert will work perfectly in a school assembly or for a short class excursion. We play a few popular songs that involve plenty of student and teacher participation, and end with a short demonstration on each instrument.

We encourage your own instrumental and vocal teachers to be involved too, as the Kickstart Concert is designed to help grow your teaching rosters.*

* If your school needs assistance with contracting teachers the NHSoR is here to help. Please call our offices to find out more about our private instrumental, vocal and music technology teachers.

MUSIC WORKSHOPS

Our Music Workshops, offered during and after school hours, are much more than just a class. Based on our Holiday Music camps, Workshops involve both performance and study of modern music. Our action-packed course develops confidence and encourages students to apply their skills in a fun and personal environment. Built on a foundation of popular anthems and chart hits, our course helps students understand the “team sport” mentality behind ensemble playing and shows them how to lead and support other team players.

Our team of teachers have created four action-packed after school music workshops for schools:

MODERN POP / ROCK BAND

Designed for students studying Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals and Keyboards who want to learn more about ensemble playing and the art of playing live! (Additional instrument practices can be accommodated)

Brass Ensemble

Developed by industry giant Freddy Gavita (Paloma Faith, Will Young, Emma C) our brass course is a fun insight into playing in a modern brass section, as would be used by Bruno Mars or Duffy.

STRING ENSEMBLE

Our string course has been co-written by graduates of the RCM. We talk about simple arranging techniques, roles of strings in film and theatre, and we even discuss career opportunities in the UK music industry.

MODERN VOCALS

With guidance from some of the greatest vocal coaches, we observe confidence in lead singing, backing vocals, theatre and the use of accapella in films such as Pitch Perfect.

Our experience shows that students who play in a band develop an interest to learn other areas of music including technical skills, music theory and music history. Performance based music lessons increase motivation, boost creativity, create team spirit, help overcome inhibitions, promote healthy competition, enhance social development and boost self-confidence!
